Cultivation Sign-In System

Nine Heavenly Stars Talent? Son Of Heaven?

“1-star talent, Qi Refining 2nd Stage! Fail!”

“2-star talent, Qi Refining 5th Stage. Fail”

“4-star talent, Qi Refining 9th Stage. Pass!”

Shengli saw a group of outer disciples gathered around the training ground as he joined the crowd of outer disciples. On the training ground platform, an old man wearing a green-colored cultivation robe with a sword on his waist was currently appraising an outer disciple’s talent.

The old man was none other than Elder Sword, a Sect Elder of Transcendence Sect. Elder Sword was using a talent appraisal crystal to identify the cultivation talent of every outer disciple that was called unto the platform by him.

At the center of the platform, a youth wearing a white-colored robe placed his hand on a huge cylindrical block of transparent light blue crystal.

The white-colored robe was the attire that all outer disciples wore. The cylindrical crystal that the outer disciple placed his palm on was the talent appraisal crystal.

The talent appraisal crystal lit up in bright yellow color until it dimmed, which revealed five streaks of yellow-colored light inside the crystal.

“6-star talent, Qi Refining 9th Stage. Pass!”

Elder Sword indifferently reported but the small smile on his indifferent face showed that he was glad that a talented outer disciple would be promoted to inner disciple. He was genuinely pleased that there were talented outer disciples since the disciples were the future of the sect.

“Wow! A 6-star talent!”

“As expected of brother Luo Tian!”

The outer disciple with the 6-star talent was none other than Shengli’s friend, Luo Tian. And because Luo Tian was at Peak Qi Refining Stage as well as possessing a 6-star talent, he would be promoted to the ranks of an inner disciple.

“Brother Shengli, so you have arrived as well! Good to see you!”

Despite being talented, Luo Tian wasn’t arrogant enough to ignore the presence of Shengli. Descending from the training ground platform, Luo Tian went to Shengli and patted Shengli’s shoulder with a smile.

Shengli didn’t shy away from Luo Tian’s friendly actions since Luo Tian was his friend. Otherwise, if it was another person, Shengli would have already shoved that person away.

“Brother Tian, congrats on your promotion! Don’t forget me when you become an inner disciple! Be sure to visit me!”

“Hahaha! How could I forget my brother? How about this, let’s have a feast after the yearly appraisal event at Moon Spring Inn, my treat!”

“Don’t forget it then!”

After a brotherly conversation with Luo Tian, Luo Tian stood beside Shengli as he waited for Shengli’s turn for his talent appraisal.

Shengli was well aware that Luo Tian waited for his turn to protect him. After all, Shengli was known as the trash of the outer yard.

As for why Shengli had a good relationship with Luo Tian, it was because of an incident year ago. When Luo Tian was a new outer disciple at Body Tempering Realm, he was bullied by senior outer disciples.

Since Shengli was at Qi Refining 3rd Stage a year ago, defeating Luo Tian’s bullies who were only at Body Tempering 9th Stage wasn’t a problem. It was because of that incident that even after Luo Tian surpassed Shengli in terms of cultivation, he never forgot his roots and protected Shengli from his bullies just like how Shengli did in the past for him.

Shengli was too lucky to have a caring brother like Luo Tian. Despite being talented and powerful, Luo Tian wasn’t ungrateful enough to forget about Shengli as his brother.

Because of that, Shengli had a good impression of Luo Tian. He swore in his heart that he would protect Luo Tian after he surpassed Luo Tian in cultivation.

With the support of his Cultivation Sign-In System, even if Luo Tian had 9-star cultivation talent, it was a piece of cake for Shengli to surpass him.

While the two of them were conversing with each other to pass time, it was finally Wushu Shengli’s time to attend the yearly talent appraisal event.

“Wushu Shengli!”

Elder Sword called out Wushu Shengli. Although he didn’t have a good impression of Wushu Shengli who was a freeloader with trash talent, he didn’t voice out his displeasure towards Wushu Shengli and remained his professional appearance.

It would be unsightly of him as a sect elder if he ridiculed an outer disciple just because he previously possessed a trash talent. Not to mention, Elder Sword felt that Wushu Shengli was different from before and his instinct wasn’t wrong!

Although Wushu Shengli hid his true cultivation base, how could it be hidden from a Qi Transcendence Realm cultivator such as Elder Sword?

Because of that, Elder Sword was astonished that Wushu Shengli’s current cultivation base was at Qi Refining 9th Stage. But he didn’t plan in revealing it since the talent appraisal crystal would do that job for him.

After Elder Sword called him out, Shengli went out of the crowd of outer disciples and went up to the training ground platform.

Seeing Shengli’s appearance, the rest of the outer disciples couldn’t help but ridicule Shengli.

“Tch! It’s that trash again.”

“He should just quit the sect!”

“Let us see how he would face Elder Sword after his trash talent gets revealed.”

“If he remained in the sect, we should cripple him!”

“Are you crazy? Shengli might not be a threat, but his brother is. We are still outer disciples yet Shengli’s brother has been promoted to inner disciple. It wouldn’t benefit us if we offend Luo Tian.”

Although the majority of the outer disciples hated Wushu Shengli for his trash talent, none of them dared to attack Shengli after the yearly appraisal event mainly because of Luo Tian’s existence.

If Luo Tian was only at Qi Refining 9th Stage, none of them would fear him since there were also plenty of outer disciples that were stuck at Qi Refining 9th Stage. But since Luo Tian’s talent was superior to theirs as well as his status was elevated to an inner disciple, they were well aware that Luo Tian could easily defeat them in the future.

There was no point in antagonizing the backer behind Wushu Shengli. And besides, they were waiting for Shengli to make a fool of himself when his trash talent was revealed.

Arriving on the training ground platform, Wushu Shengli walked towards the talent appraisal crystal. Forwarding his hand, he placed his palm on the surface of the talent appraisal crystal.

The talent appraisal crystal lit up with the same yellow bright color until the entire crystal was dyed with the yellow hue. It later dimmed which showed nine streaks of yellow colored light within the light blue crystal.

When Shengli touched the talent appraisal crystal, his cultivation base was revealed along with his talent!

“What?! Am I dreaming? That trash is at Qi Refining 9th Stage! Even his talent is at 9 stars!”

“Why call him trash? If he is trash, then what are we?”

“Only the sect master has 9-star talent! Even his Lead Disciples only have 8-star talent!”

“Is the talent appraisal crystal broken? Otherwise, why would trash like Shengli have 9-star talent?”

“Tell that to Elder Sword and let’s see if you don’t get punished for your insolence.”

While the outer disciples were in an uproar after witnessing that Shengli hid his cultivation base as well as had the legendary 9-star talent, Luo Tian was happy that his brother was no longer trash!

As for Wushu Shengli, he didn’t let go of the talent appraisal crystal as his hand was still in contact with it.

“9-star talent, Qi Refining 9th Stage. Pass!”

Elder Sword didn’t mind Wushu Shengli’s actions as he thought that Wushu Shengli was shocked that he had 9-star talent so he forgot to remove his hand from the talent appraisal crystal.

But for the first time in his life, Elder Sword was proven wrong by an outer disciple!

The nine streaks of yellow color within the talent appraisal crystal changed colors!

Every streak had red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, pink, white, and black colors respectively!

“I-is this! The Nine Heavenly Stars talent!? Isn’t this only a cultivation talent recorded in the myth?”

Elder Sword couldn’t help but stutter when he saw the changes within the talent appraisal crystal. The outer disciples might not know, but he knew what the Nine Heavenly Stars cultivation talent was!

It was well known that the current sect master of the Transcendence Sect had 9 stars talent. But only the higher rank members of the sect knew about the founder of the Transcendence Sect’s cultivation talent which was at Nine Heavenly Stars!

Elder Sword was looking at Wushu Shengli with his mouth agape. Not only he, but the rest of the outer disciples also followed suit.

Even if the outer disciples didn’t know what the Nine Heavenly Stars cultivation talent was, they still guessed that judging from Elder Sword’s expression, it was a cultivation talent above 9 stars!

But before Elder Sword could praise Wushu Shengli for his Nine Heavenly Stars cultivation talent, Wushu Shengli still didn’t release his hand from the talent appraisal crystal which caused an unusual phenomenon to occur.

Auspicious clouds gathered above the outer yard while the shrills of a phoenix as well as the roars of a dragon reverberated across the mortal realm.

The four heavenly beasts assembled above the sky with their divine image and bowed towards Wushu Shengli as if they all welcomed the birth of the Supreme Immortal!

The White Monarch, Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, and Azure Dragon’s divine image all had respectful looks towards Wushu Shengli!

The talent appraisal crystal immediately imploded as it could no longer handle Wushu Shengli’s monstrous talent. Despite the destruction of the talent appraisal crystal, the unusual phenomenon above the sky remained.

The auspicious phenomenon lasted for a minute before it slowly dissipated. Before the four heavenly beasts’ divine image dissipated, they transformed into four streaks of light that headed toward Wushu Shengli!

Wushu Shengli knew that the lights were harmless so he stood in place. The black, white, vermilion and azure lights converged above Wushu Shengli’s head.

To the surprise of the onlookers, the four lights slowly formed a halo-like crown above Wushu Shengli’s head! It was like the Heavenly Path crowning Wushu Shengli as the son of heaven!

“I don’t even know what that is! This is above my pay grade!”

Elder Sword exclaimed in exasperation as he was close to vomiting blood! An elderly like him received too much stimulation!
